After chatting briefly with my Dad yesterday, I confirmed that I will be going to pick up my RV this weekend! I am so excited! I have so many ideas for the place! My boyfriend and I are busy firming up the logistics of the trip, but the upshot is, the day has finally come!

Dad also decided he wasn't ready to move it just yet, and now the plan is to have Dad drive it up to me. Still waiting, but patience is a virtue...right??? I certainly hope so! The anticipation is killing me!!!
